Operation Principles

Dr.Web HTTPD performs functions of a simplified web server. It does not require additional installation of a full web servers (such as Apache) as well as a service for administration Webmin. Moreover, the component can operate on the same host with other servers without interruption to their operation.

The server of the web interface services requests received via HTTPS at the network interface specified in the settings, which allows using it regardless of operation of the standard web server interface (if it is used on the same host). The operation scheme is shown in the picture below.
